The Knight of Light plants the sun in the eternal night.

Chapter 140 Triple Win

Over four days, Leo and his group successfully entered the Firefly Wilderness and passed by the southernmost Candle Manor.

Leo deliberately chose to rest here for an hour.

Let's also trigger the meaning of flowers.

This was done with the idea of ​​trying anything, and surprisingly, he actually succeeded in getting some fruit from a bare jujube tree, which triggered the flower language associated with it.

"Falcao was tormented. His faith prevented him from allowing any heretics to invade the manor, but he found that the Shadow was coming and going at the Lord's invitation, which caused him great pain and even made him want to die with the Shadow."

Shadows came and went.

Without a doubt, this either means that Sanchez is keeping a necromancer, or that Sanchez is colluding with the Spider Organization.

"Falcao, I remember he was a priest trained by Candle Manor?" Leo had someone investigate Candle Manor.

I have a fairly good understanding of the situation at Candle Manor.

With a population of over ten thousand, it's almost as prosperous as the Glowing Town. It's the southern gateway to the Glowing Wilderness, and trade routes with several surrounding territories all pass through Candle Manor. The tax revenue alone is enough for Sanchez to live comfortably.

This is probably why Sanchez is plotting to become the baron.

I really don't want this prosperous place to be completely devoured by the Glowing Mushroom Clan, wasting half a lifetime of hard work.

l

I thought about it.

Leo, under the pretext of wanting to pray to the Holy Light, went to the Holy Light Lodge in Candle Manor and successfully bumped into Pastor Falcao, who was presiding over the people's faith in the Holy Light.

After driving away the inhabitants and ensuring that only he and Pastor Falcao remained, Leo suddenly spoke: "The Holy Light guided me to this place."

Falco was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "This proves Young Master Leo's devotion to the Holy Light."

"I am devout, but some people are not."

As he spoke, Leo stared intently at Falcao, as if trying to see through Falcao's exterior to his heart and whether he was truly devout to the Holy Light.

Falcao's expression changed drastically, thinking that Leo knew everything, and he immediately became so nervous that sweat beaded on his forehead.

But he didn't say a word.

Are you hot?

"It's summer now, young master Leo."

"You are not pure." Leo shook his head, looking very disappointed. "Your faith in the Holy Light is not devout enough."

"How—how could this be? I am willing to dedicate my whole being to the Holy Light."

"Really? Did you really do it?" Leo continued to press him with words. He had already figured out how to manipulate Falcao for his own use. "Ask yourself honestly, did you expel the heretics?"

, 7

The word "heresy" came out.

Falco collapsed to the ground in agony, clutching his head. "I—I—I was indeed impure. I failed to uphold my principles—I stood by and watched as heretics invaded the manor. Holy Light, I am guilty! Young Master Leo, I am guilty!"

Over time, Leo had come to understand that the Holy Light had many fanatical followers.

Moreover, there are hints about the meaning of flowers.

Seeing Pastor Falcao begin to weep, Leo said sharply, "Shut up, Falcao, you still have a chance to atone!"

"Atonement, yes, yes, I want to repent to the Holy Light, I want to atone to the Holy Light!" Falco cried out as if a drowning man had grasped at a straw. "Young Master Leo, I'm reporting to you, to the Glowing Fungus family, that someone is colluding with the Shadows!"

He was, after all, a priest who grew up in Candle Manor, and he had a mixture of respect and fear towards Sanchez, so he chose to avoid him.

Leo understood this.

Therefore, he did not intend to force Falcao to make the most difficult choice. After all, Falcao was not a true fanatic. If he were a fanatic, he would have exposed Sanchez for the sake of the Holy Light long ago.

"You do need to atone for your sins and report the person who colluded with the Shadows, but you and I both know that person is an important figure in the territory. He may have just been confused for a moment and was bewitched by the Shadows."

"Yes, yes, Sanchez—no, that person, he must have been bewitched by the shadows, young master Leo, please see the truth."

"Of course I understand," Leo laughed. "For the sake of your Lord Sanchez, for the sake of the Holy Light, we must secretly eliminate the shadows. Only in this way can we pull Sanchez back from the brink of corruption."

"right!"

"So you must help me secretly, and whatever you do, don't alert him, especially don't tell Sanchez. Otherwise, if Sanchez goes down the path of corruption and never looks back, you will be his biggest accomplice, and you will have nowhere to hide under the Holy Light!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Falco wholeheartedly agreed.

Having successfully reached an agreement, Leo then gave Falcao detailed instructions on what to do. The task was simple: to gather evidence, investigate the identities of the shadowy figures that Sanchez was colluding with, and hand them over to him.

He will be the one to strike down the man in the shadows.

"Rest assured, as long as I eradicate the heretics, Candle Manor will return to the embrace of the Holy Light. Your Lord Sanchez will still be the darling of the Holy Light, the high and mighty Beast Knight, and you, because of your devotion to the Holy Light, will receive even more favor."

After a pause, Leo laughed and said, "That's a win-win-win situation!"

It means he has to win three times!

"Yes, this will be a win-win-win situation!" Falco nodded emphatically, then bowed deeply. "Thank you for guiding you, Young Master Leo, to this place. Otherwise, I would have suffered in my unclean faith and withered away!"

After agreeing on the secret code for the meeting.

Leo didn't delay any longer and led the knights away from Candle Manor, successfully driving a nail into Sanchez's stronghold, which made him very happy.

Two hours later.

We've arrived at the Glowing Mushroom Castle.

The swamp manor continues northward.

"Let's go to the Glowing Fungus Castle first. I need to let my father know I'm safe." Leo waved his hand. "Rest for the night, and we'll return to the territory tomorrow!"

'

"Leo, my son, you did a great job!" Baron Lenard gave his second son a very warm hug.

Although Neant and Lisa embellished the story, boasting about the significant role they played in the Moonlight Castle trip.

But the Baron had naturally consulted with Knight Commander Louis and knew that it was Leo who truly played a major role. Leo quickly won over Earl Hayden, which led Earl Hayden to recommend the Glowing Mushroom Knights.

"Father, this is all what I should do for the family." Leo did not deny the credit.

"Haha, yes, it's all for the family!" The baron was in high spirits and immediately arranged a banquet to entertain the knights who had escorted Leo back.

When he learned that the Knight of Light, Lucio, would stay by Leo's side, the Baron was even more delighted: "Leo, this is your grandfather's favor towards you. He is obviously extremely pleased with you as his grandson."

At the banquet, Mrs. Sandra's smile was forced.

Neander and Lisa's smiles turned bitter.

"Hmm." For some reason, Leo felt like showing off, "My grandfather was kind. After he learned that I had also become a Knight of Light, he also taught me the secret technique of the Evening Primrose family—Crescent Slash—to increase my strength."

"Crescent Slash?" the Baron exclaimed. Of course he knew this secret technique; Lady Heather had known it before.

They also said they would secretly pass it on to the children.

But before she could pass on the tradition, Mrs. Heisel perished.

To his utter surprise, Earl Hayden passed it on to Leo so directly, making him think even more carefully about just how much Earl Hayden liked Leo: "Leo, pass on this secret technique well."

"I will," Leo chuckled.

Neant and Lisa could no longer laugh, and Mrs. Sandra lowered her head and silently ate her rice. An atmosphere of jealousy lingered at the table.

Leo enjoyed the taste very much.
